The following quote was taken from an educational film in which Raymond Hernandez, Executive Director School of Early
Childhood Education at the University of Southern California describes his mission, passion, and motivation.
I’m
not here to save the world. I’m here just to make a difference in the community
that I’m working.
Hi Liz,
ReplyDeleteI like the quote you chose by Raymond Hernandez.
"I’m not here to save the world. I’m here just to make a difference in the community that I’m working." - Raymond Hernandez
I agree with it because no one can really save the world, but if we make a difference within our community, it can possibly feel like we have saved the world. Something so simple can seem so great!
Hi Ashley,
DeleteI also noted that Hernandez works in collegiate education. In this way, what he learns in his community can affect the world.
Thanks for the response!

My favorite quote thus far Elizabeth because that is exactly how I feel right now! I feel that if I can just make a difference in one child's life, I have accomplished enough! Saving the world is not going to make me feel whole because I know that I could never and would never try to accomplish such. If I could make a difference, change, or progress in my community, that would be the greatest gift to me! Even now I'm constantly thinking of ways to give back to my community. Thanks for this quote, It's refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHi Latasha,
DeleteI will try to remember what you said and focus on one child at a time. Your desire to give back is so refreshing!

Love the quote Elizabeth. It reminds me to start right where I am to make the difference and I may motivate some one to do the same. Sometimes it doesn't take much to make that change. With your permission, think I will share this on with my student teachers.
ReplyDeleteSee, I told you your posts are quite interesting.
